1997 CADILLAC DEVILLE seat memory

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary
tail fin which once more set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This was closely
followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and
the industry's first modern overhead valve, high compression
V8 engine on the 1949 model.
Engineering innovations, conveniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, automatic
climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheels,
twilight sentinel and four door hard tops all debuted in
these years. In 1957 the Eldorado Brougham featured advances such as air suspension, memory seat,
automatic electric door locks, transistor radio, a brushed
stainless steel roof and low profile tires.

The LUMBAR control is
located on the outboard side
of each front seat. It
provides additional support
to your lower back and it
works independently of the
other seat controls. Use the
power seat control first to
get the proper position.
Then proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise or lower the support mechanism to suit
your preference.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as
it may during long trips,
so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
If you have the optional personalization package, the
power lumbar control can be programmed for memory
recall. For more information, see “Memory Seat and
Mirrors” later
in this section.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)

and both outside mirrors to a comfortable position and
then press the
SET button. Within five seconds, press
button
“l.’, A second mirror and seating position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button

and seating positions by briefly pressing button
1 or 2.
This will adjust the seat and mirrors to where you
have previously programmed them. If you have
accidentally pressed one
of the memory recall buttons
and want to stop seat or mirror movement, press one
of the manual seat or mirror control buttons. This
cancels a memory recall.
You can also recall a seat and mirror position if your
vehicle is not in PARK (P). Press and hold either the
1 or 2 button until seat and mirror movement is
complete. Releasing the buttons will stop adjustment.
The EXIT button can be programmed to allow easy exit
for up to two drivers. Adjust the seat to a comfortable
“exit” position and then press the
SET button followed

briefly press the EXIT button to recall your programmed
exit position. Automatic seat, mirrors, comfort controls and radio
movement will occur
if the Remote Keyless Entry
(RE) transmitter is used
to enter the vehicle. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds to
the
1 or 2 seat, mirror, comfort controls and radio
positions. After the unlock button is pressed on the
RKE transmitter (the ignition must be in lock) or
when the key is placed in the ignition, the seat, mirrors,
comfort controls and radio will automatically adjust to
the appropriate positions.
Automatic seat, mirrors, comfort controls and radio
movement are programmed through the Driver
Information Center
(DIC) so that the driver can select
whether or not movement will occur using the RKE
transmitter
or by placing the ignition key in the ignition.
For more information, see “Remote Recall Memory” in
the Index.

500 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not to work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons
10 or
more times out of range will also cause
the transmitter
not to work. To reset the transmitter, you must be within
the vehicle’s operating range. Press and hold the trunk
button, and within one second, press and hold the lock
button. Continue to hold both buttons for approximately
three seconds. See your Cadillac dealer for service if your
